Really glad I can't up here for the week to unwind.

Lots of waterfalls to see and trails to hike in the area. The park is clean, and their sites are…read morediscos and long pull throughs (#52), but their WiFi is virtually non existent! This hampered our enjoyment considerably because it was difficult planning our days to research the area for things to do. We had to make 2-3 daily trips to the office to connect to WiFi. If I parked even 100' away from the office there was no service. And don't expect GPS accuracy. We often went into town about 8 miles away, but we were detoured a few times in the wrong direction trying to make our way back to the park - not the parks fault. If you have a mobile router, you will be fine and be able to enjoy all that Lookout Mountain has to offer.

Beautiful and informative. They even have a small gift shop. Make sure to watch the short movie…read moreabout the canyon.

For most visitors, the best way to explore Alabama's spectacular Little Rive Canyon National Preserve is by the paved scenic road that leads along the western rim of the canyon. Canyon Rim Drive (Alabama Highway 176) connects eight overlooks along an 11 mile stretch of Little River Canyon. They provide outstanding vistas of the canyon and its natural features, as well as picnic areas, restroom facilities and interpretive displays on the natural history of the park. The drive begins near Little River Falls where Alabama Highway 35 from Fort Payne crosses the Little River. After entering the national preserve, just watch for Highway 176 leading to your right. Little River CanyonCalled the "Grand Canyon of the East," the canyon is more than 11 miles long and up to 700 feet deep

Lodge Falls This easy to find waterfall is located just behind DeSoto's Lodge. Lodge Falls drops about 25 feet and is very rainfall dependant. The best view point of this waterfall is reached by hiking down into a small ravine and then getting on the yellow trail for a short distance and coming back out next to the Lodge. This is a great waterfall.

If you like taking a break from driving, looking at big lakes, mountains and trees at the same time, and listening to chirping birds and getting fresh air, this is your spot. Spend 5 mins getting a pic, or meditate in the grass for hours and get your chakras balanced and what have you. Easy to see. Worth seeing. Pull in and take a look for yourself.

I love the great outdoors and had every intention of going hiking, but ran into a few issues. To satisfy my desire to embrace the great outdoors I stopped by this place. The view is of the TN river and you must check it out. I honestly don't think the pictures do it justice. It's a small area but would be great for jogging or walking, having a picnic or simply taking in the scenery. I was also impressed by the fact that they have at room facilities available. I did not go into the restroom, but from the outside it appears new and clean. I highly recommend making the stop if you are in the area.

While on this tour, I went to Little River Canyon and was able to watch a documentary and read about the history of the canyon and the river...AMAZING!!! I was blown away by the beauty of the canyon first and foremost! Then the river running through this massage canyon was peaceful and relaxing. Great, great amazing place.

We visited early and the trees were just changing colors, but there was still lots of green to go around. Park rangers on site and helpful. The best time to view Little River Falls is in the winter with snow runoff and increasing waterfall flow, but this visit was just as beautiful. ADA accessible from near parking lot but you can also take a short loop trail that brings you around and above the canyon along the highway (protected of course), before a scenic view at the rim from where we were.
